Amazing spot took a little while over thinking at most but awesome. Thank you
2nd Find for today!Thanks ridders76 For this cache! Found on the 16/04/24@06:27:20 p.m..Nice tiny cache, dont know how the last person DNF as it was an easy find. TFTC#322
Very hard to find still ain't found it where is the new clue everyone is talking about
Found with ObnoxiousSpaceCat who made the find, he was pretty stoked to finally have this one. TFTC and nice to meet the CO today!
Found with Gummi_Venus. Met the CO at the event today and he kindly confirmed a few things for me. I had been searching the correct place, which was a relief. This one is alive and well but requires a bit of searching. We found it quickly enough but only with what I now know. The top of the container is missing so I wedged a stick in to protect the log and replaced as found with a bit of natural camouflage. Thanks for clearing this one up, CO. Chuffed to finally get this grid square filled in.
Ive made five trips to this one over the last few months, as I sorely need it for my date grid. I think Ive examined every hole in this wall and havent turned up much more than leaves and mud. Can we get a CO check? Be a shame to lose such a well aged cache.
Keeping my DNF streak in this area going!
I can only assume I’m on the correct side of the wall. Removed heaps of leaves and found a few hidey holes that would be suitable. Didn’t find anything though. Not sure if this one is here (though there has been a few “finds” lately but I have my doubts…).

Despite having a previous DNF on 14/8/2019 we thought we would have another go as someone flogged a find a couple of weeks ago. However, once again we found nothing.
Don't feel bad if you cant find this one. I went to do a maintenance check and replace the log paper but I couldn't find it either!
Went for a second look today after passing through the area. Still no luck. This one seems to be getting the best of me
Yay! Was about to leave logging my 2nd DNF for the evening. Feeling defeated I took a couple of steps backwards to see possible hide places. A couple of chinks in the wall threw up potential locations and I saw a tiny corner of something that didn’t quite fit. Yes, there it was, but could my fingers reach it? Ah yes! Just.
Great hide in a lively wee park. Didn’t realise its name even though I lived about a km away for many years.
TFC.
Ps no longer a pencil here so a pen will be needed.

Looked up and down both side of wall. Found multiple spots where I thought it should have been but had no luck
After 5 visits over 2 years this one has turned yellow. I would suggest a rating of difficulty of a 10.
I gave it a good go and searched in lots of nooks and crannies but the cache remained elusive for me today. I don't have a very good track record with these sorts of hides unfortunately.
Still on a mission to fill in my ‘dot days’ on my grid. Have a few days to fill this week. Tftc
New day, new month same old plan.... Get some caches in on a "brisk" ChCh morning. First place I checked...YAY! Cheers!
Yay! Thanks so much for replacing the cache, great to change a sad face into a smile! Enjoyed finding the cache.
TFTC Pretty hard to find with the leaves but after enough persistence we found it (:
Great to turn this DNF into a found- especially being first to log the replacement cache
Being just down the road we thought we would jump in the car and go find it straight away as it was bugging us after looking for so long in the past.
Need to look with fresh perspective from past logs. Coords good though.
TFTRC!

Super excited to finally find this! We rushed down in the dark when we saw it had been replaced. 
On the way back from a successful caching trip out at Godley Head (including finding one ridders76 had DNFed after a 30 minute search), we decided to give this nemesis cache another go, with information from a recent log. And there it was. Hurrah!!! According to our GPSr one should add 0.002 to the East minutes. TFTC!
Tried to find this one a few times before with no luck but we were successful today, yay!
Been here a few times with KR and OP44. Today I'm a geocacher myself and was successful after KR was able to refind it. Luckily I had bought waterproof paper at Whitcoulls for his birthday. Altho that's not till September, I'd handed it over for use yesterday. Definitely needed here today. Yippee. Tftc
Great hiding spot. Not easy, not hard, but fun, TFTC!
We found the container opened and the log soaked, and we couldn't get it out. Might want to look into that.

Out rock regaining today, so checked on this cache. Yep we found it. Gps a little off but it was there. Really small on front side....spoiler alert!
We first tried this a couple of years ago. Today we came determined to make a thorough search. We felt inside the biggest cavities in the wall, poked in others with tools, and tried very hard to think outside the box ... But could not spot any box to think outside of. This is a toughie.
Down in Christchurch for a few days visiting my elderly mother and picking up a few caches, or not picking them up as was the case here! It got the better of us today, but we will be back another time to find it!
Very well hidden. We were about to leave when my friend found it. Very difficult to find. Tftc
My first find! Could not write in log as didn't have tweezers but will get some and return to add my name. TFTC!
Oh so happy to turn blue frown into smiley. On way home in posh outfits from marshalling for the Distinguished Gentleman's ride. Had to stop and try again. We were carefully looking and then I said 'found it' Mr C couldn't believe it. Goodness we made it hard. Thanks for the cache ridders76.
No luck here today but not for lack of trying. Spent ages both sides lot's of possibles and no one around so easy to have really good look. Just noticed way more experienced cacher also didn't find.
We tried this one a few years ago but had no luck and bothered us for awhile as we couldn’t tick it off . Recently revisited geocaching and finally found. Such a great spot and took a few minutes to find. The paper is very wet and needs replacing.
It was cold but cab165 and I had fun. Good thing we went searching in the day time because we probably wouldn’t have found it at night. TFTC
Last of the day, this was an easy find at the second attempt. Nice to finally tick this one off. Hardest part was extracting the log. TFTC ridders76.
Another cold and wet day, I had a couple of hours up my sleeve before meeting up with my sister in town so decided on a few caches in Kaiapoi before heading to Ferrymead for a look at some in that general area. No major problems. 13 found for the day, a couple of multis thrown in. Thanks to all COs.
